on Thursday I parked at Jara mall and quickly went to the market to make enquiries about a gadget I need for church,I quickly zoom so as not to pay more than #400 for parking in jara mall, while inside the Market I already knew bolt was red all through so I'm waiting to get near my car and go back online and immediately i got inside Jara mall I went online and I got a trip to airport, ride indicate local airport but it'd later change to International airport on 1.9 surge. I was trying to pay for my ticket when i mistakenly accept a ride on indrive and immediately the client called me.. I saw the price I accepted to be #2100 from Lasuth to Magodo phase 2, I told the rider I'm far from him but he said no that he is close by in my mind I laughed and cancelled the order and I was charged by indrive whereas my trip on bolt ended #2800 in 12 minutes.... When there is Surge nothing like Bolt but the commission will humble you without surge.

Please how do I know when there’s surge? My score has reduced and I’m a new driver because I decline request that come in. Some the prices are low for the distance and some becuase I don’t want to drive far. Just driving within some parts of mainland for now. I want to only go on bony when there’s surge

Chairman, no dey cancel orders on bolt as a new driver. Accept all incoming orders even to the places you said you don't want to go.
The way u take start ur own hustle no be the way. If bolt block you, na there you go know what's up.
Take all incoming orders till your scores go back up.
I don't even expect you to be declining/ignoring orders in your 1st month to the game.
You can't be selecting the areas you want to go with bolt, na legends fit do that cos they know their way around it.
With this your hustling way, if you don't want bolt to end you in "O God", I go advise you to quickly register on indrive should in case bolt block your account.
Cos the way I dey sense you, you fit chop creamy blocking on bolt. grin
And any time you see there's huge and mad traffic around you, go offline, except you're positioned in a good place with perfect road links well distanced from traffic roads. You go understand well later sha.
Much respect, boss.

Please sir can you explain the bolded in simpler terms? My driver score is now 79% and it’s attention. From next week I won’t decline trips again and through this thread I’ve learnt how to stop new trips as that affected me too.

Among all the apps, I hate Indriver the most. How can you pay for commission for a trip that didn't take place.

I picked a guy at the price of 2400 at that Simbiat Abiola Way (medical road) and his destination was Tejuosho market.

When I turned to face the way heading to Yaba, the guy was like, where are you going, this doesn't look like the direction to magodo. I was like, which magodo?

It was then he informed me that he was going to magodo and not Yaba. That the person he booked Yaba for has gotten to Yaba since.

So, it happened that he just clicked on the last destination suggestion he inputted previously and ordered.

I had to park immediately for renegotiation. He said he can't pay more than 3500 to magodo in the evening when the map was saying 1 hour plus.

I told him not to worry, that I'm not going to magodo and he alighted from my car, meanwhile, Indriver has taken commission from the 2400 for an unsuccessful trip.

I had to write to them to refund me my money and they did.

Over little thing, the ride will be locked and your commission forcefully taken. That's bullshit!

This thread has been very helpful. Please is there a WhatsApp group? Soo somebody can get real time updates.

Concerning indrive whenever I enter a deal and cancel or rider cancel, I observe indrive takes out of my balance. And also under the refund place I have some money there. Please is that refund my money or what? Cos I notice when my balance is empty they start taking negative balance instead of taking out of the refund money

The refund balance cannot be used to pay your commission because it's under probation period.

Uptil the time elapses and the money goes back to your normal balance, it cannot be charged.

Since I started this business, I noticed from Thursday-Sunday are the best days for the job. Infact I noticed if I move around Ikeja I can make net of 10k in a day within 5-6 hours.

I’m deciding not to drive Mondays and Tuesday because everywhere seems to be always jam packed .

We have been advised that we should always confirm destination to any passenger we are taking.
You see some of these our Lagos passengers, I no understand dem sometimes.
I've had numbers of such experience with some passengers that they will just pick destination on their map because the suggestion completes the name of the street they're going. Instead make dem pick the specific one.
Me before I move, I always confirm the destination "area" to the passenger.
For example, if the destination is 12, Williams Street, Lagos - and when I navigate and the location is at Ifako, Gbagada, I would say, "sorry, your destination is at Ifako, gbagada, right?"
That's how I always confirm once you enter my car before I even move.
Like this past week, I dey on Bode Thomas, Surulere, I saw an order going to a street at Oworonshoki and picked it, thank God I always ask for location area.
When I said, this destination is at Oworonshoki? They said no oooh, it is meant to be Ogba, that it must be a mistake.
Normal price on the address showed 2.5k for 20 mins trip, when I put the address on map to that ogba, it showed 1hr 10mins, I told them 5.5k, they said it's too much, I just cancelled straight.
What's funny was that they immediately booked on bolt to the address at ogba, bolt brought 3.2k - 3.7k for 1hrs 10mins trip. lipsrsealed
That was nonsense price tag on 25% commission.
Without surge, bolt is a total crap and that's not new, anyway.

Once a driver drives off the pick up point for like 1km, the trip must be completed.
In such situation, if the driver wants to cancel and have his commission back, he should drive back to the pick up point then click on cancel, his commission would be added to the refund purse.
If he's in a situation where he can't go to destination and can't drive back to the pick up point, the money is gone. grin
So, it is advisable to always confirm destinations to passengers before leaving the PUP.
Much respect, baba.

You're right.
You enjoy the hustle more from Thursday through to Sunday.
Monday - Wednesday na rugged hustle days cos traffic is always much on these days.
Now you can see that na when person start to dey drive him go dey get the grip of the hustle, lecturing won't give all the things you need to know, na the roads go teach you.

Relationship is very important in this country. Who you know is more important than what you know. Try to make friends with at least one police, one soldier, one VIO, One FRSC, and one agbero... Those people will bail you out when you least expect.

Move closer to one of those officers, all of them no fit carry strong face finish. Ask one of them for advice on what to do. Treat him nicely, but him recharge card or drink and you'll be best friends. He'll help you out of your troubles.
